Local Road Asset Management Report – June/July 2016 (Information prepared by Frank Porter) R800-007-02

General This report covers the two month period of June and July.

The subsidised Roading Programme for 2015/16 came in slightly under budget. As the subsidised roading programme is funded as a 3 year programme 2015/2018 under the Regional Land Transport Plan, unspent funds from the 2015/16 year have been rolled forward to the 2016/17 and 2017/18 years. This will help cover contract escalations, and a short fall in drainage budgets that were not funded within the programme.

June saw the onset of winter although temperatures were relatively warm. A storm event at the end of June caused a large amount of damage in the Sounds, with major slips occurring on the French Pass Road and Queen Charlotte Drive. A flood damage claim for around $600,000 is to be made to the NZTA.

June also brought the onset of frosts which instigated the spreading of Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) a de-icing agent on the highways and frost gritting on Local Roads.

Queen Charlotte Drive Slip

The last of the renewal programme was completed in the last week of June, with the asphalt surfacing of High Street between Lee Street and Percy Street and the Maxwell/Seymour and the Main Street/Symon Street roundabouts.

The Tyntesfield Bridge contract is nearing completion. The bridge structure was completed in early July. Work is now focused on completing the new approach road. Following completion of the road

landscaping works will commence. A landscape architect has been engaged to work with the community to develop a landscaping plan.

Godsiffs and Waitaria Bridges in the Kenepuru and the Para Railway Bridge are now completed.

Sealing of bridge approaches will happen in the summer.

Tyntesfield Bridge

Financial Commentary Expenditure on Maintenance and Renewals in both the subsidised and non-subsidised roading programme finished the financial year within, but very close to budget.

Graphs for maintenance and renewal expenditure are provided below. Despite inflation and consequent escalation payments, Marlborough Roads were able to keep expenditure within budget.

Monthly Activities

Network Outcomes Contract During June and July there has been considerable rainfall, in particular one large event at the end of June.

The Network Outcomes Contract continues to run satisfactorily. HEB completed all of the reseals and rehabilitation works by the end of June.

Grading and metalling of unsealed roads has been undertaken around the district. Weather has interfered with this and the programme is running about two weeks behind schedule.

The KRA assessment for the four-month period ending June 2016 has been under review by the Transport Agency’s Network Performance Group audit team. It is recommended that this period’s score be “Best Practice”, this is an upgrade on the last periods score of “Poor”.

The contractor continues to focus on Health and Safety to minimise risk to its employees and sub-contractors. HEB are trialling a “task based risk assessment” for PPE requirements. The TRIFR score (health and safety measure of incidents) remains low and is an excellent result.

The June OPM audit did not pick up any non-conformances on either the State Highway or Local Roads Network.

The July audit identified two non-conformances on the State Highway Network and non on the Local Roads.

Marlborough Roads Activities Wayne Oldfield our Maintenance Contract Manager left us at the end of June to take up the position of Highway Manager in our Napier Office. Recruitment for a replacement is underway.

Stefan Sanders our Network Manager has resigned to return to his previous job at Marlborough Lines. Chris Parnell, currently our Network Technician will move into the Network Managers Position in August. Recruitment to replace Chris is currently on hold as the Transport Agency works through a Positioning for Success review following the appointment of its new Chief Executive Fergus Gammie.

Frank Porter has been on leave for six weeks during July and August, Steve Murrin has been Acting Highway Manager over that time.

Project Status

State Highways Tenders for the Spring Creek roundabout have closed and are currently being assessed.

The Transport Agency has called for a Statement of Interest and Ability (SAI) for the design of the Opaoa (Opawa) Bridge. This is to enable experienced contractors to work with designers during the design phase. SAI submissions are currently being assessed.

Construction of the Grovetown to Spring Creek shared pathway has been awarded to HEB Construction Ltd. Work on the pathway has commenced with completion prior to Christmas.

A contract has been awarded to Downers for the Rai Curves Realignment Project. This is a safety project to realign five curves over the summit of the Rai Saddle.

Local Roads Opus is working on designs for the replacement of Healy’s Bridge on Kaiuma Bay Road, Bulford No. 1 on Bulford Road and McLeans on Mt Riley Road. It is hoped to have tenders advertised in September.

Pre-works have started on the French Pass Road seal extension, tenders documents are being prepared so that a tender can be advertised shortly.

Communications Marlborough Roads staff have consulted with many sectors of the community. The following table identifies some of those contacts made during the month.

Rivers and Drainage Section – Activity Report (Information prepared by Geoff Dick, Steve Bezar, Kevin McFall, David Aires, Jan van der Vliet, Hai Trieu) R700-014-01

Flood Damage

The repair work at Conders has now been completed. A total of 6,668 ton rock (15% Pukaka Quarry; 85% Barracks Quarry) was placed over a 388m section and has already had the opportunity to prove itself twice! Some further minor enhancement works including planting will take place over the coming weeks.

Wairau River Chemical vegetation control is ongoing along stop banks and on berms and boundaries. Releasing of pole planting sites has also been ongoing.

Stopbank and berm mowing is underway and the entire area on true right bank and upstream SH 6 already completed. Clearing for pole planting and planting of poles has commenced. Further vegetation clearance work in vicinity of Marlborough Lines overhead power lines has been completed at SH 1.

A berm area upstream of SH 1 has been cleared and will be prepared for future high value timber planting scheduled for either winter 2017 or 2018. It is intended to sow to grass in the interim.

Wairau Floodplain and Tributaries

Ruakanakana (Gibsons) Creek (SVIS intake pond) Practical completion of Contract 2016/36 has been obtained. The silts have been excavated out of the settling pond but there remains residual tidy up work to be done once drier conditions prevail. Small stop bank repair is also awaiting drier conditions before it can be completed.

A total of 30,354 m³ of silt have been removed from the pond which means that on average approximately 2,500 m³/annum of silt has been captured by the pond since the commissioning of the southern valleys irrigation system. The system was reinstated on 1 August. Two reinstatements have occurred for the Ruakanakana (Gibsons) Creek intake (Waihopai) over the last month also.

Opaoa (Opawa) River: Town Area Two small-medium sized trees at Budge Street were remove following a landowner and arborist assessment.

Stormwater Pumping Stations Chaytors, Rouses and Roberts telemetry providing: Chaytors pump shed is nearly completed with new roof has been fitted. Laser Electrical is working on new telemetry install.

Chaytors and Rouses: River group has accepted a proposal from Marlborough Lines to upgrade the 50 KVA supply transformer to a larger 100 KVA unit. This should resolve one of the sources of power outages we currently experience at the site. Marlborough Lines will supply a new pole and a cross arm along with the new transformer. Land owner approval will be sought by Marlborough Lines before proceeding with the work.

Alabama Road: The new motor we ordered to replace the existing failed motor on pump 53 in the station suffered an unwanted incident whilst shipping from Palmerston North – it was dropped! The supplier has ordered a replacement from Australia.

Andrew Street: A dead tree close to station location has been removed. The area surrounding the station has been tidied up and sowed to grass.

Taylor River A section of actively eroding bank upstream of the High Street Bridge will be temporary protected by diverting the active flow. The work is planned to be undertaken this week if conditions are favourable. Permanent repairs will follow later in the spring when ground conditions firm up.

Taylor Dam Five seepage monitoring manholes will be modified for easy opening and inspection by installing manhole riser extensions and new hinged and lockable lids. The seepage drain outfalls are a key monitoring item for dam safety during larger flood events.

Eckford Engineering is currently making the lids which will then be sandblasted and corrosion protected. Simcox will install the new lids and manhole risers once complete.

Upper Opaoa (Opawa) River at Railway Bridge Following the removal of willows in the vicinity of the railway bridge last summer, some channel excavation work is proposed to enlarge the channel where the willow growth and subsequent silt build-up has overly narrowed the channel. A completion a more efficient and uniform channel will be created which will be closer to what existed to what we can see on some 1939 aerial photography.

Dredging lines has been marked on site by stakes and tape, and will be final confirmed to estimate the amount of sediment to be removed. The excavated silt will be mixed up with quarry material for a stopbank job in the lower Opaoa (Opawa) next summer.

Spring Creek Outlet Pivot Gate Upon inspection in a recent flood event, the gate was found to be not closing. This was due to gabion rocks in channel escaping from the corroding gabion baskets. The baskets on the inlet side have also failed causing rocks to pass through culvert to foul the floodgate. The failing gabion baskets on both sides of stop bank, both inlet and outlet, have been replaced with large rock rip-rap. The gate hinges also has been adjusted and mounting bolts strengthened.

Investigation and Miscellaneous

Lower Wairau River Stopbank - Proposed Improvement and Re-alignment Works

“Ngati Rarua Reach” - True Left Bank · The ‘Final’ Concept Design Report, by Aurecon Consulting Engineers Ltd., was completed at the

end of July 2016. The contents of which includes stopbank (initial) re-alignment options (based on previous discussions), rock revetment works, drawings and indicative costings.

· Ngati Rarua, Te Runanga a Rangitane o Wairau, Ngati Kuia and other affected landowner (direct on in-direct) were consulted up on at an extended Hui at the Parerarua Marae, Wairau Bar Road, on the 16th August 2016. This followed our continued previous dialogue with individual land owners and organisations. The above report was made available to all affected parties concerned prior to the Hui.

· The Hui was very well attended and the format of the meeting was well received. The “essence and character” of our consultation process is to have open and frank communications with an emphasis of being willing to listen to each other. The option(s) “Decision Making Process” (see above diagram) aims to develop the agreed option together with the affected parties, consensus, of which the above Hui was a start.

· The presented options formed a basis of discussion which clearly identified, and was agreed up on, to be developed further from a holistic catchment point of view, e.g. effects on the whole of the Lower Wairau River Reach including the management of the true right floodway at this particular location.

· It is recognised by all that the proposed works, no matter which option is selected, will have an impact on the floodway. The projects’ concept of “Making space for the River” is appreciated, understood and accepted by all as the core of getting to the agreed option.

· The outcomes and actions, i.e. additional options on set-back in conjunction with floodway impediment, without compromising the level of expected flood protection, will be investigated further; additional re-alignment options.

Caseys Creek and Opaoa (Opawa) River Stopbank Upgrade Project · Opus International Consultants have won the professional services contract to finalise the

design of the upgrade, assist with the necessary resource consent application, manager the works tender and supervise construction of this key infrastructure project.

· The anticipated / indicative project implementation programme / time line is:

o Resource Consent Application: lodged and granted June 2017

o Detailed design, specification and Tender Documents: signed-off by all parties concerned June 2017

o Construction Commencement: summer of 2017/18

1 and 1A Wilson Street, Havelock – Stream stormwater capacity upgrade · Crafar Crouch Construction Ltd has commenced the preparation tasks for the construction

works. A briefing and site walkover was held. The detailed design of the culvert, and associated, elements have been agreed and the culverts have been ordered.

· The culverts are anticipated to be delivered on site by the end of August. It is anticipated that the physical construction works will commence at the beginning of September 2016 providing the weather conditions are favourable.

· Simultaneously consultation has commenced with the immediate downstream neighbours with a view of upgrading the culverts through their respective properties. A walkover and inspection was held with Crafar Crouch Construction Ltd to discuss a concept design as well as the construction methodology. The costs for these works are estimated to be up to $25,000.

Wairau River Gravel Bed and Volumetric Analysis Report – 2010 to 2016 · Land River Sea Consulting Ltd has completed the analysis on the current ‘state of the

aggrading / degradation’ of the riverbed, which includes the gravel extractions element. The analysis methodology and outcomes of which were peer reviewed by a third party, Christensen Consulting ltd., before finalisation and acceptance by the Rivers and Drainage Team.

· The conclusions and recommendations of the report are being used as a basis to develop our new generation Gravel Extraction Strategy. Once developed and drafted it will be consulted upon with the main extraction contractors before being finalised and reported to the Assets & Services Committee.

· In relation to and as a ‘natural follow-up’ to the above the above survey data and report outcomes will form the basis for updating the hydraulic model of the Wairau River. The current Level of Service (LoS) on providing a 1 in 100 year flood event protection standard will be analysed in relation to the stopbanks, bridge capacity and the potential of climate change impact, eg; projected sea level rise.

Fultons Creek Study – Hydrological, Hydraulic and Level of Service (LoS) Analysis

· Although previously, some years ago, specific capacity analysis of the Creek through Pollard Park was completed, no detailed analysis has been completed to date.

· This thorough analysis of the Creek‘s catchment over its whole length up to the confluence with the Taylor river will commence from a complete “blank canvas”. The work has triggered by the eventual housing development on the western part of the catchment following the recent rezoning.

· A detailed brief is being developed to ascertain resources requirements from internal and external input.

· The aim and objectives of the (base-line) study will be part of this brief, including ecological and (ultimately) stormwater quality aspects, with a target completion date being the end of December 2016

Gravel Extraction · The annual gravel allocation year commences on 1 March each year.

· The Wairau River bed levels have been surveyed and analysed. A draft allocation is being developed for the 2017/21 period. This will be put to contractors at a meeting to be held later this year.

Gravel extraction figures for March to June 2016 (4 months) is as follows:

Wairau River - “Waihopai River confluence to the Ferry Road Bridge”. 2016/17 annual allocation is 113,000 m3.

34,942 m3 = 31 % of annual allocation

Other rivers within in the district (incl. Sounds, Upper Wairau & Awatere) 34,098 m3 Total volume of extraction for the Marlborough District is: 69,040 m3

· Gravel sales from MDC stockpiles for March-June 2016 = Nil.


Quarries

Pukaka Likely forward rock requirements for various upgrade works are being assessed to ensure the quarry can meet demand.

Hillersden There is now steady demand for the surplus undersized rock in this quarry. The material is being crushed and screened for vineyard and forestry track development and maintenance.

The quarry faces will be shortly surveyed to assess what work will be required to bring them within current safety guidelines. The existing faces are over height and therefore potentially unsafe. It looks quite feasible to re-bench the upper faces to meet current safety guidelines.

The survey will be completed by aerial drone and surveyed control markers. On completion of the survey a 3D model of the quarry will be able to be built and used for the bench redesign.

Taylor Pass High Reservoir (Information prepared by Mark Power) C315-15-32

Construction of a new 2,000 m3 capacity concrete reservoir in the Wither Hills Farm Park was approved by Council last year.

The contract works involve supply, construction, testing and commissioning. Only minor earthworks are required as the platform was cut at the same time the 10,000 m3 Blenheim Low Reservoir was constructed in 2010.

Eight contracting companies were invited to submit a tender, with three of those companies providing a price.

The contract was awarded in May 2016 to Fulton Hogan Marlborough, for a tendered sum of $1,775,678.96 (GST excl). The works should be completed by mid-winter 2017.


Services and Operations

Commercial Industrial Sorting Facility (CIF) (Information prepared by Alec McNeil, Solid Waste Manager) W300-006-008-05

The purpose of this report is to update the committee on the progress of the above project

The construction of the CIF will be completed during October 2016. To date we are on time and budget. Opening date is scheduled for Tuesday 1 November 2016.

We have changed the name of the facility to waste sorting centre as the term CIF doesn’t really resonate with the community.

Works Remaining The weighbridge system will be installed in September 2016.

The sorting equipment will be installed in October 2016.

The hard landscaping will be completed by the end of October 2016.

Opening The intent is to stagger the opening taking commercial skip vehicles first during the commissioning period and then opening the facility to the community from 1 November 2016 onwards.

A ‘soft opening’ prior to the equipment being commissioned is scheduled for around 17 October 2016. This will include a culturally appropriate blessing in partnership with local Iwi.

A ‘formal opening’ opening is scheduled for 29 November 2016. This will include Council elected members, central government representatives, Council and contractor staff, local Iwi and the community.

The facility will not be operational during this ceremony to mitigate any safety risks. The community will be able to attend and the facility will re-open once the ceremony is completed.

Video An information video (4 minute) and a social media video (30 seconds) are being developed to promote the facility to the community.

Ministry for the Environment Project We have completed Milestone 2 of the project. To date we have recovered $453,169 of the $776,314, excluding GST, awarded from the waste minimisation fund.

Risks The cleanliness of the product post screening has been a risk. Small pieces of debris could potentially have contaminated the 50 mm and less material rendering it unusable. We have mitigated this risk with the inclusion of an air knife which effectively deals with any light fraction by blowing it into a separate bin. Refer to attached.


Summary The waste sorting centre is on track for completion by end of October 2016. The project is on budget and will open to the community on 1 November 2016.

Blenheim Parks and Reserves

Pollard Park Maintenance is the main thing happening in both Pollard Park and Seymour Square at present.

Rose pruning demonstrations in the roses gardens were open to the public for three days. There was a good turnout as people came and watched, asked lots of questions and hopefully went home with a little more knowledge.

The perennial border and cottage gardens have been composted and mulched with pea straw. At the same time the potager under the fruit trees and berries was mulched, after they had been pruned.

The team is currently pruning trees throughout the park and golf course, removing trees that have died from the dry summer. They are also lifting trees on the golf course and removing elderberry and wattle seedlings that have self-grown in areas.

The annuals beds have all had replacements of planting done, weeded and hoed with edges flicked up.

Hydrangea pruning is going to have public demonstrations done on Tuesday the 30 August 2016 in the morning to show people how to prune and answer any questions they may have.

Seymour All the annual beds have been weeded and hoed and replacement planting done.

Rest of gardens have been weeded and tidied.

Oliver Park Construction is all but complete on the extensions to the Redwoodtown Plunket rooms, Once the fencing is down Downer will put the finishing touches to the play area.

Lansdowne Park Davidson Engineers have been awarded the contract to design and supervision of the construction of the Netball Courts, storm water system and the carpark re-seal, a key target date is to have the netball courts open 1 April 2017.

The following is an outline of work underway to ensure completion of the above project in 2017.

Land contamination: Mark Davis SEE is undertaking the first stage, primary site investigation (PSI), next week. This may lead into a detailed site investigation (DSI), in September. Dependent on the outcome of the PSI and possible DSI Resource consent may be required for the extraction of the soils at the Park.

Netball Court Design: Matt Cresswell Sport surface and design Management (SSDM) is responsible for the design. Matt worked during the early stages of the Lansdowne Park development including overseeing the construction of Lansdowne A and technical assistance with the Softball development. Matt will undertake the design phase of the netball courts using both NZ and Marlborough netball design outlines and provide documents up to a tender stage.

Stormwater: Davidson Group (DG) will be undertaking the design and construction management of the storm water system.

Car Park Design: Davidsons are looking at the design to see how it fits with the levels of the carpark and recent changes to the court layouts.

The carpark is also a contaminated site that SEE are going to report on as this will need to be part of the consent report that the external planner will prepare. DG will manage the development of the carpark in parallel with the storm water works.

Power: Staff have a meeting with Marlborough Lines next week to discuss power supplies to the Hub, Courts and rugby training lights

Sewer/Water/Fibre: A camera is to be used to look at the sewer line, looking like it is clay pipe and small sized. The water line is too small and needs replacing. The replacement will be dependent on the design of the HUB building. Sewer and water lines into Lansdowne are smallish so will need to calculate existing and new loadings to see what capacity is existing. Fiber will need upgrading.

Jim Fraser Access: Staff will meet with Rugby to discuss moving Netball into the Jim Fraser until the Hub is built.

Change room access: Council will tidy up change rooms in preparation for Netball use of 2 change rooms and officials’ room during the playing season

Sand Volleyball: VB have confirmed they wish to stay at Lansdowne Park

Rugby Training lights; Started discussions with Rugby about light requirements. Council will be working with a local electrical company to get this install up and running. But will need the SEE reports completed before we start work.

Netball Storage: A garage is on site for netball to store equipment in.

CBD Upgrade

Bythell Place CONPAVERS are all go at Bythell making steady progress. Half the planters have been moved off site and will go to Scott Street once a Traffic Management Plan is confirmed.


Blenheim Business Association representatives have visited the business surrounding Bythell Place to inform and update them of the re-development project

As part of the Bythell design there are six new planters which will result in the Scott Street planters remaining permanently.

Market Place Tenders for this project close on Tuesday 30 August.

Mitchells The new hoop is in but usage of this area has fallen away dramatically. The table tennis table is being repair and is a week away from returning with new logo.

City Site Entry way off Wynen Street has been filled and level, no more puddles. The team from VERVE are actively managing the garden and wildflowers. The planters on the wall now have pansy planted in them.

Wither Hills Farm Park

Events The farm park is well used by organisations such as RNZAF, Schools for Cross Country, Mountain Bike Club and the Duathlon Club.

Mountain Bike and Walking Tracks Interpretation panels are being updated at the Rotary Lookout as are showing their age.

Weed and Fire Control In conjunction with the Rivers Section, the spraying of gorse regrowth has taken place over 3 hectares of land within the Mountain Bike Park.

Clearing of burnt or dying trees and shrubs, pruning of trees and the chipping of all material has taken place along a section of Forest Hills Walk where a fire started last summer.

This work has been undertaken as a trail and if successful it may be possible to do similar work on much of the higher use front country to reduce combustible material.

Ecological Planting A combined college planting using 400 native seedlings will take place on Sunday 4th September within Sutherland Stream’s QEII Covenant.

Awatere and Flaxbourne Reserves Awatere Memorial Hall

The Awatere Memorial Hall Working Group along with Geoff Canham co-ordinated an open Day/community meetings to discuss the Awatere War Memorial Hall use, Compliance Renovation and Future Development.

A Feedback Questionnaire was circulated and this information along with the Survey Monkey data received will be incorporated in the Business case to be written by Geoff Canham.


Seddon Sports Pavilion The Sports Pavilion is now open and was used for n Under 13 semi-final rugby game. The unlimited hot water from the gas showers was a big hit!

The Awatere Rugby Club has canvassed the local ratepayers of the Awatere/Flaxbourne area through the Awatere Newsletter regarding the naming of the Pavilion on the Seddon Domain.

They only received positive comments and would like to proceed naming the building. THE TREVOR MARFELL PAVILION.

Picton Reserves

Queen Charlotte Lookout Spring clean of the area recently and road markings renewed.

Victoria Domain

Port Marlborough Pavilion at Endeavour Park Update August 2016 The last few weeks saw all sorts of events at the pavilion, including a kids disco, Marshmallow evening for youths, Tasman Women’s rugby game against Wellington and the first ‘Tea Dance’ held in Picton. Not only are these events keeping people active and bringing them together, it is fantastic exposure of the facility to new people, which continues to grow our word-of-mouth bookings.

We held a fun event called Casino Royale, which those that attended really enjoyed, and including the large individual donations from Waikawa Ratepayers Association and Picton Lions Club that we received, along with the Rata Foundation grant of $40,000, we now have all the funding required to continue with the netball/tennis courts construction.

Most weekends are now booked through until Christmas with various events and activities, including birthday parties, weddings, football and bridge tournaments and a NZ Native Orchard Dinner. Full steam ahead!

Pest control Possum Trapping has started at the northern end of the Domain to help preserve the native vegetation and bird life. Picton Dawn Chorus committee are also setting 100 plus rat and stoat traps throughout the domain this month.

Bird counts are being undertaken; this information will provide a comparison of numbers pre and post trapping.

Tree planting and weed control The Totoras for Totoranui Planting of 120 big tree species is planned during September. Planting will be done in selected sites at the southern end of the Domain. This will be done in association with school/college students and volunteers.

Felling and poisoning of source sycamore trees will take place shortly beside the Domain and further seedling sycamore control work along with other invasive species will be targeted again this summer. Approved annual plan funding will assist with delivery of these projects.

Marina to Marina Track Staff are working with the Picton Bike Walk Group on an upgrade plan and pricing to upgrade sections of this track. Some funding has been made available through the Annual Plan process.

Northern Marlborough/Sounds

Havelock Domain Several bollards have been installed around the Outdoor Gym Equipment to protect the gear from vehicles.

Brown River Reserve and Alfred Stream Picnic Area, Rai Stream Reserve, Rai Valley Two trees have been removed by Marlborough Lines from the road verge at Alfred Stream Reserve to prevent line incursion. Additional replacement planting is planned at the Reserve using native species.

Additional play equipment has been requested by local residents that live close to Rai Stream Reserve. Additional equipment may be considered to complement the existing swing located there, this is dependent on Land Subdivision funding.

Anakiwa/Tirimoana A recent site meeting was held with the local community and staff of MDC and Marlborough Roads to view and discuss erosion issues and possible mitigation measures.

A report, the Thompson Bay Shoreline Erosion Assessment was prepared by Opus in 2011 for Marlborough Roads. It is proposed to engage Opus to revisit this report and provide updated solutions to manage the erosion to secure the road and sections of the Link pathway.


Erosion beside Anakiwa Road

Anakiwa Landscape Concept Plan Funding was approved through the Annual Plan to implement some projects as identified within the Anakiwa Landscape Plan.

Additional bollards and native screen planting will be undertaken by the association to improve the road end area.

Ohingaroa Reserve

Weed Management Plan A plan identifying weed species present within the reserve and the control of these species has been prepared and the initial control work has taken place.

General

Street Trees A privately owned tree has recently been adopted as a street tree with a MOU in place for its ongoing management.

An additional 100 street trees are currently being planted within, Blenheim, Renwick and Picton.

A similar number of trees are lost each year through wind, vehicle or wilful damage or require removal due to health, environmental constraints, public safety or development.

A full audit of all 5500 street trees is currently being conducted by contractor, NELMAC, to ensure records are up to date and required tree works completed.

Street Plots Replanting and bulking up of many street plots is planned over spring.

A selection of plant pallets have been designed using hardy largely native plant species that are known to perform well in Blenheim and Renwick

Public Conveniences

Queen Street Construction of the men’s urinal to be commenced shortly.

Picton Toilets General Branding of the Museum toilets similar to the Wellington Street (London Quay) toilets to make them easier to find is to be carried out. Preliminary details for the new I Site toilet are being progressed along with options for improving the capacity of the Wellington street London Quay facility.

Seddon Refurbishment and upgrade improvements including external repainting, landscaping, installation of new rubbish bins and upgrades to the water system and wind protection screening of the Seddon Township toilets was carried out recently.

Ward Domain Staff attended a recent meeting of the Flaxbourne Settlers Association meeting to discuss options for improvements to the Domain toilet block.

Rai Valley Township Staff meet on site with representatives of the community to discuss the option of co-locating a new toilet adjacent to the Rai Valley Emergency Centre. The proposal was well received. Details will be progressed.

Alfred Stream The Norski toilet at the reserve was recently refurbished which included it being moved slightly to higher ground to reduce the risk of flooding. A new fully containment 4000 litre waste tank replacing the old 1000 litre tank was installed and a new large extended roto vent stack was fitted to improve air flow ventilation. A gravelled access path was formed and minor landscaping was carried out and some further completion work is planned

Double Bay The community have relinquished the cleaning of the toilet and this will be done in conjunction with Link water and Ohingaroa Bay as part of the OCS District Toilet Cleaning Contract. The Double Bay community have done an excellent job since the establishment of this facility and will no doubt continue to take an ongoing keen interest in the bay.

Okiwi Bay The community have recently relinquished the cleaning of the Okiwi Bay toilet and this will be done in by a local person as part of the OCS District Toilet Cleaning Contract. The Okiwi Bay community have done an excellent job of this cleaning this facility. Improvements and or replacement of this older toilet block are being investigated.

Ohingaroa Bay Staff have received great feedback from the wider Sounds community re having the Ohingaroa Bay toilet available and handy on the Kenepuru Road when travelling. A couple of teething details presently need to be sorted out but technically the toilet is functioning extremely well as would be expected from a new facility of this nature. The facility is now being cleaned and serviced by the OCS Havelock team as part of the OCS District Toilet Cleaning Contract and in conjunction with Linkwater and Double Bay toilets.

Cemeteries

Fairhall New burial beams installed and memorial ashes and entrance way have been replanted and tidied.

Awatere Preliminary detail to upgrade and improve the entrance to the cemetery is being progressed.

Picton New burial beams installed and new kerb and channelling for the lower carpark were completed recently.

Ward The formal Deed of Gift for the Lychgate at the entrance to the Ward Cemetery was received from Radich Law. Detailed work for the restoration of the structure is underway. Improvements to the drainage and formation of mow-able swale drains alongside the highway were completely recently to improve the cemetery generally and make maintenance easier.

Rangers’ Report (Information prepared by Murray Morgan) R510-006-02, R510-005-04

Graffiti Graffiti statistics are low to average at the moment, there was a slight increase in minor tagging during the school holiday period.


Freedom Camping Freedom Camping statistics are also quite low as usual during the winter months. Three Infringements have been issued over the last period. It is noted that Collins site at Koromiko has had regular numbers even through the winter period.

General Illegal dumpings have remained about average with the most remarkable noting being 80 opossum carcasses located on the North side of Wairau River and 34 tyres on south side. There was also a run of three illegal dumpings that contained evidence of the same person being responsible. It appears this person has moved addresses, and took the opportunity to rid themselves on unwanted items. Inquiries are continuing as to his current whereabouts.

Kevin Hawkins retired from council on 10th August and his replacement Michael Lawson will be starting early in September.

Road Safety Coordinator Update (Information prepared by Robyn Blackburn) R800-005-03

Safe Motorcycling Supporting ACC’s efforts to reduce motocycle crashes nationally is a focus in Marlborough. A writer will be contracted to write regular motorcycle safety articles to be published in the Friday Sun every two months and ACC’s Ride Forever local motorcycle training dates will be promoted at the same time. ACC is keen to increase the number of motorcyclists attending training sessions to be able to assess if having motorcyclists attend formal training can bring the road toll down.

A possible Fatigue Stop campaign is being investigated for when motorcyclists travel from all over New Zealand to the Burt Munro Challenge event in Invercargill in November.

Road Side Barriers have come under a lot of scrutiny from motorcyclists and the Marlborough Motorcycle Road Safety Group has spent time researching whether the risk to motorcyclists is a perceived risk or real. There is no data to support crash injury is made worse by the barriers however funding is being sought from the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Committee for post protectors on the recently installed barriers.

Safety of Young Drivers Two Learner Licence Workshops have been held in July and August with another 18 young people entering the Graduated Licence System. A further October workshop is planned for at risk under 25’s.

The Safer Journeys Action Plan 2016-2020 proposes extending the Young Driver Signature Project that is funded by The Transport Agency and trialled in selected areas of the country. In Marlborough we have been operating our own scheme for the past five years as the partners saw the merit in supporting young people at risk to get their licence a few years ago.

Drink Driving Using the latest data from the Crash Analysis System a target group has been identified as full/restricted licenced male drivers aged under 40 years of age travelling on urban roads. This is quite a change from previous data which showed rural open road drink driving required focus. The percentage of people on their Restricted Licence is also higher than previous data showed. There is a possibility more and more people are not progressing through the Graduated Licence System.

There have been 105 crashes involving alcohol 2012 to 2016, 17 involved fatal or serious injuries. There have been no fatal crashes involving alcohol since 2012.

· 46% of crashes were 'bend- lost control/head on’ and 29% were ‘straight road-lost control/head on’.

· 73% were male drivers and 63% of those were aged 20 - 39 years old.

· 48% of all at fault drivers were on their full license and 28% were on their restricted

· 8% - motorbikes or mopeds.

· 65% crashes were on urban road, in dry (81%), dark (67%) conditions.

· Alcolink data shows ‘Home/Private Residence as last place of drink’ is three times higher than for licenced premises

Roads and Roadsides Rural road loss of control continues to be a focus for road safety promotion this year. The “Bends are hurting us’ campaign will be extensively used over the coming months with Radio, newspaper and billboard advertising planned.

August 15 to 19 was Rail Safety Week and Marlborough Road Safety supported this by using their tagline “Expect a train” to have a billboard up on SH 1 to Picton and run a comprehensive radio campaign

Road Safety at Schools To reduce congestion at the school gate road safety partners including Sport Tasman, Public Health, and Council have held meetings to discuss a promotion that will encourage more primary school aged students to walk, scoot, or bike to school.

Minutes of BWM Advisory Meeting -17 August 2015

5. BWM Trust and Operational Update - Kevin Wilson & Braden Prideaux

Kevin Wilson

• Ttie Annual Plan has been presented to Council, Extra funds of $55,000 have been granted and this will cover Bradan's salary and additional funds for feasibility studies,

• The Trust has had a formal meeting with Queen Charlotte Track and Link Pathway and It has been agreed to co-operate and collaborate rather than compete with each other.

• A strategic plan and tentative project plan is being written and will be discussed at the Trust meeting.

Braden Prideaux

• Urban Cycleways Project

Grovetown to Spring Creek has gone out for tender, has been awarded and is due to start early September and Is to be completed by Christmas.

Taylor River is expected to begin November/December 2016.

As part of the Urban Cycleways two counters have been Installed. One just before Grovetown going North and one on the Taylor River Just along from the Munro Street carpark. The numbers for the Taylor River averages about 600-800 people per day going past this spot and averages out at two thirds walkers and one third cyclists. There will also be an increase in numbers on the Grovetown extension once completed.

• Marlborough Environment Plan—an email was sent out to the BWM advisoiy group asking for any feedback, BWM is happy to collate this and sent it through in a wider BWM submission.

The main sections of the document that focus around cycling and walking are Volume 1 Section 9 - Public Access and Volume 1 Section 17-Transportation. This takes over from the two current plans, and forges the way for next 10 years or more. It sets the rules and policy guidelines for the future and shapes its three plans with the Regional Policy Statement.

The transport, public access and open spaces are the relevant topics to this group. If any member supports these sections, Council would like to hear about this. The deadline date Is 1 September 2016 at 5pm,

• Bikes in Schools—Springlands School are looking at building their own bike track within the school. This entails a single 2 metre wide riding track going around the edge of the field made from limestone with an additional pump track and skills track. A fleet of 50 bikes will also be available for students to use.

It is an initiative that has been rolled out over the country and Bikes in Schools are now up to 60 - 70 bike tracks around New Zealand. Springlands will be the first school in Marlborough and funds of £12,500 were applied for and received from NZTA as a part of the Urban Cycleways Project (UCP), The rule around this funding is any school within the vicinity of a UCP is eligible, For example, the Ellham and Beaver Road, Whitney Street would be a perfect case for applying for some funds from there, The cost of the three tracks (riding, pump and skills), plus the bikes and storage is approximately $50,000. Springlands have set aside some funds as well as fund raising with only about $6,000 - 58,000 to go.

Mayfield School had asked for funding through the Council land sub-committee and Braden will be continuing to work with Mayfield, Quotes are being completed through Chris Mildon from NZ Cycle Trails Trust. The riding track around the field, bikes and storage will cost between 520,000 - 525,000 Mayfield School is not eligible for a UCP grant.
